It's been at least five years since the bun/dog package ratio got, well, rationalized...

Eight hot dog buns to a package, but 12 hotdogs to a package.

12 hotdogs? I haven't seen to many of those packages. Usually they're in packages of 10 (which is how I remember the joke going), but I've also seen many in packages of 8.

I'm just curious why the Crest Whitening Strips, which are supposed to make your teeth whiter in 7 days, come in containers with 28 strips. Are they intended for a family of four?

Now I've not purchased them, but is that 28 strips, or 28 _sets_ of strips? If only 28, then wouldn't that be 14 for your top teeth and 14 for your bottom?

Also, and again I'm not a consumer so I'm not sure, but do they claim to be done in 7 days, or just to start showing results in 7 days?

From a marketing perspective, it wouldn't make sense to give you _more_ in the box than you need, because then you'd never get repeat sales. I'm guessing that 28 strips will give you a "pretty good" whitening, but that you'll end up buying another box to finish the job.

Racism is universal. Just which race (or presumed race) is favored/disfavored changes with the territory, but in the Northern hemisphere, at least, 'lighter' seems to be deemed 'better'. China, SE Asia, S Asia, the Middle East, Europe, N. America... it doesn't matter where.
